WARNING:
Fuel can spray out on you if you open the fuel cap
too quickly. If you spill fuel and then something
ignites it, you could be badly burned. This spray
can happen if the tank is nearly full, and is more
likely in hot weather. Open the fuel cap slowly and
wait for any hiss noise to stop. Then unscrew the
cap all the way.
Do not top off or overfill the tank and wait a few
seconds before removing the nozzle. Clean fuel from
painted surfaces as soon as possible. See Washing
Your Vehicle on page 6‑98.
If the vehicle has a Driver Information Center (DIC), the
CHECK GAS CAP message displays if the fuel cap is
not properly installed.

WARNING:
If a fire starts while you are refueling, do not
remove the nozzle. Shut off the flow of fuel by
shutting off the pump or by notifying the station
attendant. Leave the area immediately.
Notice: If you need a new fuel cap, be sure to get
the right type. Your dealer/ retailer can get one for
you. If you get the wrong type, it might not fit
properly. This can cause the malfunction indicator
lamp to light and can damage the fuel tank and
emissions system. See Malfunction Indicator Lamp
